Political Freedom, Interpretive Conjuncture, Property, Principal/Agent, Locke, LiberalismAbstract
Some assumptions of contemporary mainstream political philosophy have neglected the historically indexed character of concepts such as political freedom, property or sovereignty, contributing to an anachronistic and inaccurate use of its meaning. However, its academic and social hegemony shapes the political philosophy «common sense» of our time. Locke is an example of how the liberal interpretive conjuncture that unfolded in the nineteenth century and consolidated in the twentieth has obscured some of the complexity and diversity of the intellectual and normative traditions he inherited. The reconstruction of Locke’s political philosophy from its fiduciary conception of political freedom contributes to make the meaning of some concepts that are critical for present normative theorizing recognizable again.
